Everyone, not just millennials have signed a compact with the devil. Personal information is given over freely (bigly if you are Trumpite). The mantra when I was younger was that you never gave out your SS#, today phones and computers ask you to disclose location, and people, without thinking, turn on the location button. It doesn't surprise me that personal information (paper) was carelessly handled. I don't trust, equally, the banks and companies that ask me to go paperless.

Between all of the DNA that was spilled on that locker room floor and all of these Social Security numbers floating around, you could probably clone half the members on David Barton's client list and start your own gym, complete with thousands of lookalike members.

Anon 5:20, I think the point about paperless is that bank records on the internet are probably not "safe" from hacking. The hacking into the records of large companies is a recurrent problem. I don't think that means one should have nothing to do with internet purchases, but people are surrendering too much personal data.
